chapter 103
103. Totally Chaotic Season 2 (3)
1.
“Sit down.”
“I understand.”
“Get on your knees.”
“Ahem……”
Arwen coughed and knelt obediently.
Thinking about it like this just makes me shiver. Since you left for the North, you’ve been hiding in the shadows and spying on me. I never thought I’d suddenly find out that my private life was being filmed. And I didn’t want to find out in this way.
I shook my head. My forehead was starting to feel throbbing. Where on earth should I start?
I suddenly remembered when I was little, my teacher sat me down at school and said, “What should I do with this kid?” I guess that’s how my homeroom teacher felt at the time.
As expected, people are like others. They say that you have to experience it in reverse to know what it feels like. As I recalled that time, I felt a little sorry for my elementary school homeroom teacher.
Anyway, I have the power to dispose of Arwen, who has been observing my every move.
“Arwen.”
“……Well, actually, I didn’t really mean to peek. I was just wondering when I should leave, and that’s how things turned out.”
“Is that all you have as an excuse?”
“Ugh.”
Arwen blushed, speechless.
If you really think about it, it’s a bit brave of you not to run away when I kissed Sylphia. If you had stayed in the shadows the whole time, you would have heard the whole conversation we had earlier.
Anyway, since things had come to this, I needed to ask Arwen for her opinion, so I shook my head and asked.
“……Anyway, so what do you think, Arwen?”
“If that’s what you said earlier, Ludrick, then my answer has already been decided.”
“Actually, you were the biggest problem.”
“to…….”
Arwen trailed off, looking flustered as if it was sudden. But what can I do, since it’s true?
To be more precise, Arwen and Sylphia were the biggest problems.
The two who are the most problematic when they cannot accept the sudden change of situation and become violent. The other three are human, so that’s fine, but in the case of Arwen and Sylphia, they are of a different race. The problem is that they each have grand titles like dragons and true kings.
It’s not like I was constantly on guard against the two of them fighting in the middle of the capital.
“You’re in trouble if you decide to fight someone else. Even though you’re a vampire, whether you’re the true ancestor or not, it’s not like you’ll die if you look at the sunlight.”
“I can’t possibly be on the same level as the lowly things that come from my own blood. The sunlight is harsh, but it doesn’t seem to be my fault that it doesn’t kill me when it touches me.”
“……Anyway, what is your answer?”
“I don’t really care either.”
Arwen answered with a seductive smile.
It didn’t really look like that because I was sitting with my knees down.
Although I hadn’t told her to get up yet, Arwen quietly got up and put an arm around my shoulder.
“All I want is you, Ludrick. From the beginning, it was you. Of course, I don’t like the other impurities that got in the way, but…”
The corners of Arwen’s mouth went up.
“The important thing is that you are in my arms. Other than that, I don’t really care.”
“What are you saying?”
At first, I pushed Arwen away with a loud slap, but I’m not some stone statue.
It was impossible to be conscious of being so entangled. If you include my past life, my mental age may be a bit high, but I’m still in my twenties, full of energy.
I didn’t like the way Arwen acted smugly as she was pushed away, as if she knew everything, but I didn’t forget the warning.
“This is the Grand Duke’s residence.”
“So what does that mean?”
“Eileen might get angry if she sees this.”
“You’ve already deployed your detection magic. That cold-blooded man seems to have complicated thoughts. Considering that you haven’t moved a single step from your office up until this hour.”
“You checked all that in the meantime? It’s really toxic, toxic.”
“In this case, it would be more correct to say that it is thorough rather than toxic.”
Arwen smiled and playfully bit the back of his neck.
… … Oh, now that I think about it, it’s already been over a week. I asked, remembering that it was getting past the time to feed this annoying and labor-intensive vampire.
“hungry?”
“any.”
Arwen bit the back of his neck as if waiting for permission. The pronunciation of his answer was muffled, but he was careful not to let his sharp fangs dig into his flesh.
Still, it seems like they’ve made great strides by waiting for permission.
“Drink.”
“It’s a strange feeling.”
“What feels strange?”
“It’s not that it’s strange… I think you gave me permission in that tone at first, but then I remembered.”
Perhaps recalling the past before the regression, Arwen’s fangs dug into the nape of my neck with a strange expression. As expected, it was a feeling that was difficult to get used to no matter how many times I experienced it, so naturally, a complaint came out of my mouth.
“…Just let me follow you from now on. The back of my neck feels weird.”
“I’m sorry, but that’s going to be difficult.”
“why?”
“That way, other people will recognize you.”
Arwen replied as if it was nothing and buried her face in the nape of his neck.
2.
On the way back to the zodiac.
It was a bit earlier than expected to return home, but since Abel, who was the source of the problem, quietly gave up on the plan that made his teeth tremble just thinking about it, the desired result was achieved.
I couldn’t help but feel a heavy heart whenever I thought of my master, and I had no interest in the title of court magician or anything like that…
Still, my steps on the way back were light.
As I climbed onto the magic circle with Eileen accompanying me, I felt a familiar sensation of my body floating, and soon a familiar view of the capital appeared before my eyes.
“……Ludrick, but there is one thing that is bothering me.”
“yes?”
“I accepted it for now, but no, don’t misunderstand, that doesn’t mean I don’t like it.”
“Oh, the other two?”
When I asked again, Eileen nodded cautiously.
Of the five people who were initially informed by the system or something, three agreed. I don’t know if it’s right to say they readily agreed, but for now, the three of them agreed even after hearing my ridiculous idea.
But there were still two left.
One was Geum Taeyang… … no, Rasil, and the other one was Elena.
Rasil may look like a fly, but when you actually talk to him, he’s actually more thoughtful and mature than you’d think. So, contrary to his appearance, he seems like he’d agree with you quickly…
“The point is, it’s going to be my fucking cousin.”
“I guess that’s probably the case…?”
Eileen nodded with a sheepish expression in response to my question.
If you think about it, Elena was always the most proactive. It was the first time she went to inspect Count Weiss’s house, and the first time she tried to get him to the capital.
And then, all of a sudden, you made a hasty move and proposed to me.
“hmm…….”
“Elena… what would she say….”
Eileen trailed off. Eileen, who was struggling to find the most purified words, soon opened her mouth cautiously.
“I guess it’s right to say that he has a strong desire to monopolize.”
“……Actually, if you think about it, wasn’t Elena’s record before her regression the most splendid?”
“I guess it’s like that.”
The answer came out with a polite, indifferent expression.
“Elena has always been… ambitious.”
“But this time, you don’t plan on starting a civil war, do you?”
“Judging from the lack of activity, it seems like they have no intention of going to civil war. They had already contacted me behind the scenes before returning.”
“It’s fortunate that you have no intention of starting a civil war, but…”
My head hurts.
My head was starting to throbbed again. Elena, the final boss of sorts, was still there. She was obviously the type with a lot of pride and a very strong ego, but would Elena be able to accept this?
Even after thinking about it carefully, no clear solution or conclusion could be reached.
In the end, I guess I’ll have to go to Elena and confront her to find out the answer.
Before his return, he was a great man who split the empire in half and started a civil war because he could not recognize his older sister, the Crown Princess, as soon as the Emperor passed away, so I think we need to approach him cautiously. That’s all I can think about.
“……I don’t know either. It’s not that easy to figure out Elena’s thoughts.”
“Yeah, I don’t know either. Shouldn’t I go and talk to him first and see what his reaction is?”
“I guess so.”
Arwen and Sylphia, who had been listening with their ears pricked up from the side, also added a word.
“The human princess is not normal.”
“I don’t think you’ll agree easily.”
This is difficult.
Even as I walked diligently, I had many thoughts, but thinking about it alone didn’t give me any good solutions.
In the end, I thought that the only way was to go and confront it myself.
“I didn’t know you’d all be gathered here. Did something happen to you that I don’t know about?”
Even a tiger will come out if you call it that.
After receiving notice that the verification process was complete, Elena, who had been waiting to meet us, suddenly showed up.
“uh…….”
“I wonder what interesting things everyone was talking about when they were all gathered together. Would you mind joining in on the conversation?”
The corners of Elena’s mouth went up beneath her brilliant blonde hair that sparkled in the sunlight.
That smile wasn’t 100% a smile made because the situation was funny. It was closer to a grumpy smile.
I’m starting to get upset because Sylphia and Arwen are also involved, but will the reaction be okay?
I don’t know. If it doesn’t work, then just give up.
